Hello!
This is the first step of admission into our transitional living program at The Mountain Center
(TMC). This is our referral packet that is filled and signed by licensed professionals as well as the
client being admitted. All sections of this document are critical as it best informs us on whether or
not the client is a fit for our program and ultimately be able to provide the best care for the client.

About Us - The transitional living facility at The Mountain Center was established in 2015 as a
project of Interfaith LEAP, Inc., a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to offer a safe and
sober transitional living space for women recovering from substance use disorders. The Mountain
Center is the “place between” residential programs and communities that may not be
recovery-friendly enough to support any stage of a woman’s recovery journey. Here, we’re able to
meet other needs of recovering women, build life skills, explore how to balance employment and
recovery and grow the spiritual strength for long-term recovery. We work with recovering women to
build on their skills and bring them back into the community to live a more resilient and healthier life.

About the referral process - The following is mandatory before anyone can be admitted.

 ❏ A current COVID-19 test result that is negative
 ❏ Client confirmation that they have been in quarantine while waiting for results
 ❏ Authorization for Release of Information (completed and signed by a Licensed professional)
 ❏ Current Medical Clearance for Participation (completed and signed by a Licensed
   professional)
 ❏ Standing Order for “Bedside” Medication (completed and signed by a Licensed
   professional)
 ❏ Behavioral Health Information and Clearance (completed and signed by a Licensed
   professional)
 ❏ Client Intake Questionnaire (completed by client)

Below is the Screening Requirements Checklist which will have additional information that will be
needed for admission. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
